that's the picture we're getting from the state finance department. the state's population projections show that this summer, the hispanic population will equal that of whites and early next year will surpass it. by 206, hispanics will make up nearly half of california's population. the state is also about five years from another milestone as the population will hit the 40 million mark in 2018 or 2019. let's talk money. you have to go back five years to find the last time the gow broke 14,000. yet here we are again flirting with that milestone just as we learned that last quart the u.s. economy contracted for the first time in 31/2 years. does that mean the economy is on the upswing or about to take a tumble? sam brock takes a look how much stock you should put in the market's near record level. >> we have two pees of information that don't seem to go together, a rising stock market on one land and the shrinking economy on the other. we set out to examine what

relationship market performance has if any at all to the health of our economy and answer, none. >> as markets open on then final day of january, the country's major indexes sit just below record levels of performance. this just one day after the commerce department announced that gdp the value of you u.s. goods and services dipped into negative territory for the first time in more than 40 months, minus 1%. so wait a minute. which indicator is right? well, i'm not sure that the stock market is necessarily a good predictor of short-run changes in gdp growth. >> santa clara university economist alex fields suspects there might not be any correlation between stock market performance and growth. after looking at the numbers we agree. here's a look at the dow's up and downs over the last five years. you'll see a major plunge during the heart of the recession in '08 and '09.

now here's gdp performance over the same period. you'll see growth plum plets during the recession years, as well. that's where the similarities end. we looked at the biggest swings in the stock market since 2007 excluding the great recession and then looked at how gdp responded the following quarter. here's what we found. between first and second quarter 2007, the dow jumped 1,054 points. the next quarter? gdp fell .6%. between the first and second quarter of 2010, the dow dropped 1,082 points and the following quarter gdp rose.4%. how about third and fourth quarter of 2011, the dow gained more than 1300 points and gdp fell 2.1% the next quarter. there are seven or eight examples of this inverse behavior. in just five years, cnbc market analyst mary thompson says forget about the link between

the stock market and gdp. if you want to gauge the temperature of the economy, look to consumers' wallets. >> consumer spending is accounts for two-thirds to three-quarts of the economy. that's what you want to look at. >> as we mentioned that metric consumer spending rose a modest.2% last month but another.4% in november. pair that information with encouraging numbers for private business investment, and chests and investors feel good overall about where the economy is heading. hopefully that provides some clarity in a financial picture filled with mixed signals. i'm sam brock. that is today's reality check. thank you. >> finding the fountain of youth. what local researchers have uncovered that could mean the dream closer to reality. >> is it a bogus fix? a lawsuit involving a widely used antidepressant that has a big pharmaceutical company on the defensive tonight. >> an investigative unit exclusive. a massive rodent infestation at

of the studio. let's take a live look outside at our golden gate bridge. mainly clear right now. we'll talk more about this rare and unusual january heat and fun it lasts into your weekend coming up. >> all right, jeff. i'm jim kozimor. the party has begun in the crescent city. you can hear the bands in the background and the 49ers prepare for super bowl xlvii. jeff york addressed who what 49ers may not wear the uniform next year. plus, vernon davis, maybe he didn't light up the stat sheet this season but why he calls this the best year of his life from the xfinity sportsdesk.

it's hard to forget the photographs and the video. mice dropping contamination inside an east bay distributor. now another investigative exclusi exclusive. >> we talk to the owners as they try to rebuild the business. reporter tony kovaleski broke the story last july. the feds embargoed food at the facility and called for a national recall following our investigation. >> after learning of our investigation, the state of california moved in and described what they found inside

the warehouse of a national food distributor as a massive rodent infestation. tonight we can report major changes. the owners saying they now want to get back into business. you're looking at pictures from last may and june. they give you an up-close look behind the walls of this national food distributor. pictures, video and details exposed by two former employees. >> what the mice do is you know they're on the ground and they'll eat from the bottom of the pallet. within a product and just climb all the way up. >> go deeper. this is san francisco natural food company. >> i'm going to show you some of the specific areas where we think the problem originated and also show you what has been done to address that problem. >> he's a national food safety expert hired by the owners of san francisco herb and national

food to identify and eliminate the rodent problems our investigation exposed inside this warehouse. >> so, basically, ground zoefrt problem right here from your assessment? >> i think that's a very good way to characterize it. >> after months of inspecting the company, the company believes it started with dozens of small holes in the cracks between the concrete slabs where mice and rodents worked their way into the tea, spices, and natural foods. >> we've gone through the whole warehouse and filled in all of the cracks. there's no way for them to come in now. >> barry melzer owns san francisco herb and natural food. he says changes in management along with structural changes to the facility have prevented any rodent intrusion since last august. >> my main goal is to have something good come out all of all this. that's the most important thing to me. >> clearly a significant

difference between what we showed you seven months ago and what we saw for ourselves inside that warehouse last week. ultimately investigators from the state of california and the fda will have the final say on when the east bay tea spice and natural food distributor returns to business. we will continue to follow up. in the newsroom, i'm tony cove less circumstance nbc bay area news. >> thank you, tony. if you have a tip for our investigative unit call us or census an e-mail. >> jeff ranieri joins us. your buddy al roker is coming to town, as well. >> 4:30 in the morning. but i hear you need to head out at 3:00 a.m. it's east coast live. if you want to be part of that whole thing. >> show al up. >> we won't go to bed tonight. we'll stay up with al. >> it will be good. looking forward to that and we also hear christina will be out there tomorrow morning, as well. i'm sure it's going to make for

great tv. let's look at the current temperatures right now. 57 in santa rosa, 56 in livermore. dropping to 55 in san jose. while temperatures are cooling off, we did see quite a spike today, especially in the south bay. cupertino the morning low wasn't all that big of talk. it was right near where you should be this time of year. by 3:30 this afternoon, you hit 70 degrees 12 degrees above your average this time of year. it's all about the drying north and slightly offshore wind coming from the east. that's all it takes, only five to ten miles per hour was good enough to get the temperatures to spike today. outside to our live hd sky camera network. the haze in the silicon valley for tonight. some of the air traffic we've been noting on this camera. it's a great view of hows the silicon valley is this time of night. up to emeryville looking back toward san francisco. there it is, that thin veil in the center of your screen. that's poor air quality we have again for tomorrow, if you suffer from allergies it's going

the story of a of a woman who's love for the 49ers was felt by the players, staff and entire bay area. ♪ >> all around new orleans there's a spirit intensifying around the super bowl and it brings to mind the passionate 49ers fan like jan bowen or niner jan as she was known. she visited her home a few years ago before she passed away. >> win or lose, there are people are there supporting us. and, of course, in times like this where we're winning, a lot of people come out and are very enthusiastic but never seem to forget about the people behind it. jan was probably the most amazing example of that. >> players remember her for generosity in being at team headquarters every day to deliver cookies and well wishes. >> if you didn't get one gift, you were going to gift from her. she wrote everyone a personal christmas card and she always showed her appreciation for the

team and the players and what we did. >> and true to the niners to the end when jan died of cancer a couple of years ago, she donated her entire estate to the 49ers foundation. the charities that the 49ers help support. >> the 49ers foundation mission is to keep kids on safe, on track and in school. although jan didn't have children of her own, she was such a natural caregiver, that that resonated with her, and the significant gift was incredible. it's a continuing legacy of her involvement with the 49ers. >> here's something that may impress you and brings everything home. jan was a native of new orleans. and says she had never seen a football game till the 49ers were taking on the broncos in the super bowl here in new orleans. you'd have to think how a new orleans woman who found a love for the niners in new orleans will be with the team again in great spirit this sunday. >> absolutely. i feel jan's presence here. that will be on the minds of many whose lives were touched by jan. >> with the niners at the super

fifth straight year and completely healthy, davis had his fewest catches, receiving yards and touchdowns since the 2008 season. but for davis, the lack of numbers was worth it. >> the frustration just kept coming to my mind. but you know what? i sat back and said i'm not frustrated. i can't be frustrated. this is the best year of my life. i say that because you know, i was a big factor on this team winning. >> that may seem counterintuitive considering he had two games this season where not only he did not have a catch but he wasn't even targeted. his role in the passing game is only part of his strength with the 49ers this season. >> he's involved in all the run game, all the block game, protections a lot of times. he's the guy that has taken that run game stuff so seriously. has really been a tool for us. he matches up so well. so strong. you know, that i mean he's an extension of the offensive line for us. >> he's one of those guys that you all say has that it sort of

say. you know, he catches touchdowns. he's blocking. he's somebody you really got to know where he's at at all times. >> he's a freak at the position. 250u7 pounds, runs a 4.3. and that's a mismatch for a lot of linebackers in the league. >> we're at the super bowl. this is what we play for. this is the moment we live for. everything we prepare for and everything that we do in our life, you know, especially in this game, is for this moment. >> davis has eemerged as a large part of the 49ers passing game through postseason. he has six catches for 150 yards and a touchdown. in new orleans with the 49ers, mindy bach, nbc bay area. sfloor all right. let's move it on to alex smith. he has spent more time answering questions this week about his role on the sideline. and his future with the 49ers as the actual game coming up. the future has been it is

spotlight. there's a real possibility smith will not return next season. jed york has said there is room for him on the team but they'll deal with who is going and staying after the super bowl. >> what happens at the end of the season, what happened after sunday and the guys know how much i care about them and whether they're here or somewhere else, i wish everybody on this team the best. i mean, i have a great respect for the guys on this roster. and they've done a lot together. and you know, whether you win the super bowl or you go 0-16, your team is never the same year after year. and it's always sadat the end of the year a little bit. it's always bittersweet because you know some of the guys there with you this year are not going to be there next year. >> that's going to do it for sports for now. we'll have warriors highlights and more at 11:00. i'm going to get my wash board and cymbals because there is a band that needs me somewhere in
